Album Name: Veterans Recognition Night Return to Albums
Album Date: Nov 11, 2009
Description: Each year we honor our vets, active duty personnel, Gold Star honorees as well as families of currently deployed troops with a special recognition dinner. We thank them for their service, and they thank us for inviting them to dinner. We began this tradition in 2006, and already it has out-grown the Clubhouse!
